(Owner of record: Robert A. Lebewohl Family Trust 1980). (Continued from August 28, 2019 hearings at the request of the Attorney). Attorney Kirrane said the Board requested that the applicant pay a fee to the Town for purposes of having Charlie Rowley,Consulting Engineer review the proposed project.That fee was paid, and Charlie has been engaged by the Town to review the plans. Charlie gave some preliminary comments, and the applicant's engineers had discussions with Charlie relative to the issues that were raised. Attorney Kirrane believes that most of the issues were addressed, but some were not addressed because the engineers didn't get the revised information to the ZBA office until late in the afternoon before the meeting. Attorney Kirrane said the Board also asked that the applicants address certain issues relating to the paper road (Wampanoag Ave.) on the lot, and the traffic issues along Rte. 151.Also present was Chris King,Project Engineer for Atlantic Design,Kim Hazarvartian, with Transportation Engineering, (TEPP), LLC, and Doug,the building designer. Attorney Kirrane said a revised set of plans were submitted addressing many of the items that Charlie had raised in his engineering report. The building size has been reduced to 9,200 sq. ft. as opposed to the 9,975 sq. ft. resulting in a decrease in lot coverage from 19.6% to 18%. He said that Charlie Rowley wrote a preliminary report to the Board regarding the status of Wampanoag Avenue and what course would be taken to abandon that road. Chris King, Atlantic Design Engineers said he has been working closely with Charlie Rowley regarding the comments from his preliminary review that are detailed in his letter dated September 5, 2019. Chris said his first component was making sure there was a registered land surveyor to review the status of Wampanoag Ave., and certify the plan that was completed along with additional tie lines and monuments found so that Charlie can follow how they were fixed to the property based on the field survey. He said that Charlie requested defining the loading zone to the rear of the building, so pavement markings were added. The dumpsters were located outside Wampanoag Avenue outside the Groundwater Protection District. The employee parking spaces were designated to the rear of the building with employee only placards and signage. 7
